Innocence And Illusion embraces a fusion of prog, rock, ballads, and elements of jazz-blues.
 
“I am incredibly proud of this album”, Amanda comments. “There is a wide variety of music, all weaving around the central thread of life’s journey; the twists and turns and all the stops along the way, the innocence, the illusions, the hopes and dreams, reflecting on what is, what was, what could be. These songs have been bursting to be heard, and I hope that they speak to everyone who listens to them.”
 
The album cover features a striking original creation from Des Walsh Illustration.
